Note 2245 — Chapter X · THE NEW ENGLAND. 1170–1206.
Reading edition
Charter in Riley’s Munimenta Gildhallæ, vol. ii. part i. pp. 31, 32. It is witnessed by “archiepiscopo Cantuariæ” and “Ricardo episcopo Londoniarum”; i.e. Richard of London who died in May 1162, and Theobald who died in April 1161. As it is certain that neither of these two prelates ever crossed the sea after Henry’s accession, the charter must have been issued in England, and therefore before Henry went abroad in August 1158.
